If this proposed project pushes through, a travel to Japan may no longer be necessary. Bullet train... YEAH!

A US$3 billion bullet train with a Manila-Clark route was proposed before the Sangguniang Panlalawigan session here recently.

The transrapid Manila-Clark has a maximum speed of 500 to 550 kilometres per hour, with a travel time of 12 to 15 minutes from Ninoy International Airport (NAIA) to the Diosdado Macapagal International Aiport (DMIA), said Hermann Fidler of Siemens Inc. Transportation Systems.
